Reviews

Praise for Murder in Montmartre "I always wondered why I used to quicken my step in Montmartre. After reading Cara Black's wonderful book, now I know. As atmospheric as anything by John le Carre."-Philip Kerr, author of Berlin Noir "As always, the Parisian setting is vividly evoked, the heroine's wardrobe is chic, and the action is non-stop. The story has its Nancy Drew elements-secret passageways, confrontations in darkened graveyards, chases across cobblestones in spike heels . . . If you long for the adventure-filled stories that got you hooked on reading in the first place, you'll enjoy this." -Mystery Scene "Chilling . . . The book vividly depicts a gritty, working-class part of Paris . . . Black succeeds in making the reader feel the damp, the snow, the fear." -Publishers Weekly Praise for the New York Times bestselling Aimee Leduc series "If you've always wanted to visit Paris, skip the air fare and read Cara Black . . . instead." -Val McDermid "Fine characters, good suspense, but, best of all, they are transcendently, seductively, irresistibly French. If you can't go, these will do fine. Or, better, go and bring them with you." -Alan Furst "She makes Paris come alive as no one else has since Georges Simenon." -Stuart Kaminsky "If you've never been to Paris, or you'd like to go back soon, let Cara Black transport you there." -Linda Fairstein "Charming. . . . Aimee is one of those blithe spirits who can walk you through the city's historical streets and byways with their eyes closed." -The New York Times Book Review
